The Washington Wizards‘ forward Kyle Kuzma shook the internet in April 2020 when news surfaced that he was dating supermodel Winnie Harlow. Stepping into the fourth year of their relationship, the couple seems to be more in love than ever. This year, as the world celebrates Valentine’s Day, Winnie chimes in on the occasion to express her love and wish her special man. In a sweet gesture, the Canadian supermodel wished the rest of the world a Happy Valentine’s Day by blessing her fans with two pictures of herself and her beau.

The first image shows Kyle and her standing in front of the Christ The Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Romance is in the air as they hold each other and stare into each other’s eyes. The second picture reveals a similar pose, with the couple staring into each other’s eyes as Winnie faces her back to the camera and strokes Kyle’s face. The ‘America’s Next Top Model’ star shared these images with a heartfelt caption that read, “Forever my baby, Forever my Valentine ❤️ may the lord forever watch us and keep us. Happy Valentine’s Day yall!

Isn’t the couple wonderful? They’ve never shied away from showering love upon each other on social media. Last year, Winnie further solidified her love for Kyle by getting a tattoo dedicated to him. She got “Kyle” tattooed behind her right ear, later uploading it on Instagram.

The couple met through the internet all thanks to Kyle for relentlessly trying to get in touch with her. Otherwise, things could’ve turned out completely different from now.

After a failed attempt, Kyle Kuzma tried again a year later

In June 2021, Winnie appeared as a guest on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, where she disclosed her love story with Kyle. It turns out that the 28-year-old NBA star had slid into her DMs in 2019, but for some reason, she never saw the message. “I don’t know what the glitch in the system with Instagram is, but that never came up for me“, she said on the show.

However, this wasn’t going to deter Kyle from trying again. After waiting a year, he tried reaching out to her again, and this time she saw his message. The two started talking frequently, and it didn’t take long for Winnie to decide to move to Los Angeles on a whim to be with Kuzma. Since then, they have been inseparable.
